Question 1

What kind of manual work can I automate when using Trafft?

Accepted Answer

You can automate repetitive tasks that occur after bookings are made or confirmed, such as sending custom confirmation messages to contacts, logging appointment details into a database or spreadsheet, creating tasks in project management tools, or updating staff availability across other systems. You can also automate workflows that react to cancellations, no-shows, or rescheduling events. These automations remove the need to manually record booking information or trigger follow-up actions each time an appointment changes.

Question 2

How does data move between Trafft and other tools I use?

Accepted Answer

Trafft can send appointment data outward when events occur (new booking, cancellation, completion) so external tools can capture contact details, appointment times, and staff assignments. Data typically flows one direction at a time: from Trafft to a connected tool, or from an external tool (like a form or database) into Trafft. Most connections use webhooks or API calls, meaning Trafft either pushes information when something happens or another tool polls for updates. Real-time sync is limited, so expect a slight delay between an action in Trafft and when that data appears elsewhere.

Question 3

What are common problems when automating around Trafft?

Accepted Answer

Appointment data can be incomplete if custom fields or service categories are not properly configured, causing downstream systems to miss critical details. Timezone mismatches often occur when Trafft data is sent to tools in different regions, leading to off-by-hours appointment times. Automations may fail if a contact's phone number or email is missing in Trafft, since many integrations need these to function. Additionally, staff reassignments or service changes made manually in Trafft may not retroactively update already-triggered automations for past bookings.

Question 4

How should I organize Trafft so automations work without breaking?

Accepted Answer

Use consistent naming for services, staff roles, and appointment statuses so automations can reliably match and route data. Ensure all required contact fields (email, phone number) are mandatory before a booking is confirmed, so automations downstream always have the data they need. Create separate calendars or staff groups for different workflows if you have varying automation needs, and document which automations depend on which services or status types. Test automations with a non-live calendar first to verify data format and timing match your other tools.
